I build the systems insurance companies actually run on: policy administration, claims platforms, regulatory reporting, and โ increasingly โ AI systems designed for environments where a wrong answer has legal consequences.
Most AI demos fall apart in regulated environments because the LLM has the final word. My core pattern inverts that: LLM agents advise, a deterministic rules engine decides. Agents handle retrieval, interpretation, and drafting; a code-level gate with binding authority validates every decision against explicit business and statutory rules before anything is committed. You get the flexibility of language models with the auditability regulators require.

This is the architecture behind my current work in multi-agent claims adjudication, and it shapes everything I build โ local-first, sovereign, and verifiable by design.
My day job is building proprietary platforms for an insurance group operating across the Caribbean and South America. The code is private, but the systems are real and in production:
- Multi-agent AI claims adjudication โ LLM agents in advisory roles with a deterministic engine as binding authority, jurisdiction-aware document retrieval across multiple territories
- Regulatory reporting automation โ consolidates financial data across 15 territories and populates quarterly statutory returns (life & general), cutting the finance team's workload ~80%
- Policy administration platform โ Django system managing 29,000+ policies with a REST API, built by reverse-engineering the legacy system it replaced
- Multi-territory loyalty platform โ partner portal, customer mobile app, and admin system spanning 4 territories and 120+ partner locations, with anti-fraud rotating QR codes
- Broker-facing insurance portal โ TT$1.5M+ in premium processed since launch
- Claims lifecycle portal, bank reconciliation engine, pension management system โ each replacing 100+ hours/month of manual work
Sole engineer across the full lifecycle: development, deployment, infrastructure (nginx, SSL/TLS, DNS), and production support.
The repos here are where I test ideas on my own time โ mostly local-first AI:
| Project | What it proves |
|---|---|
| neural-analyst | Privacy-focused desktop app: autonomous web crawling + local RAG, no cloud dependency |
| FormulaSpark | Local LLMs (Ollama) translating natural language into Excel formulas, with direct Excel integration |
| AgriShield | Climate intelligence & parametric insurance risk platform for Caribbean agriculture |
| Actuarial Loss System AI | Applying AI to actuarial loss analysis โ where my degree meets my stack |
| PriceTracker-Pricesmart | Zero-touch data pipeline on GitHub Actions: daily scrape โ SQL โ committed analysis |
| Maritime Ports DB Builder | Relational schema design & data modeling from ethically scraped maritime data |

Background: BSc Actuarial Science, University of the West Indies, St Augustine โ I speak both risk and code.
Born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, and it shows โ in the humor, the music, and the projects (half my scrapers exist because I wanted local T&T data that didn't exist anywhere).
